Solution

The correct option is C silver
Mercury is in liquid form so cannot change in the sheet. Similarly, plastic gain its shape and cannot change in a sheet on hammering.
Only silver can be changed into the sheet while hammering as it is a metal. Thus it has the property of malleability.
Hence, option A is correct.
